believe in sharing out | shall propose
that this week all the wages he Jumped
together and then shared out equally, to
laborers and mechanics alike. Every
well,' said the workman, ''but shall
move a little amendment to that propo-
sition." "What is your amendment"
simply that you throw in your little

THE "ANARCHIST RIOT"
Spiteful Lies Telegraphed by the
Gould Machine.

The capitalist pape s last Monday
told of "anOther anarchist riot" in
Weehawken, N. j., asuburb of New
York
The facts are these: Forty-two
trades unions held a picnic at
beautiful park on the heights over
looking the Hudson last Sunday,
for the purpose of raising funds to
help defray the expense attendant
upon securing to the 'ictims of mur-
derous capitalist conspiracy, the
eight condemned anarchists" of
Chicago, a new trial. A number of
hoodlums tried to gain entrance to
the park without paying the adlnis-
sion fee and the committeeman turn-
ed them away. One of these loafers
then fired number of shots at the
gate keepers. He was then soundly
thrashed by the workingmen. The
hoodlums were then driven off, and
the days enjoyment proceeded with
out further interruption.

Great Concert and Picnic to Assist
the Labor Press.

More than five thousand people gath
cred in Brommer's Union Park, New
York, last Sunday, to endorse the labor
press of that city. The affair was ar
ranged by anumber of trade unions, who
provided also for an extensive musical
programme, but "his saviorship," Mayor
Hewitt, gave special orders to the police
to stop the music, and that part of the
days entertainment had to be omitted.
Charles Potter acted as chairman, and
called the assemblage to order, intro
ducing Walter Vrooman, who devoted
about an hour in explaining the absolute
necessity of a powerful and well-sup-
ported labor press. He dwelt upon the
sorry plight of the workers when COM
PEELED to get their news from the hired
liars of the ruling class. the capitalist

Leader, followed with an address in
German. The utmost enthusiasm pre-
vailed. The proceeds of the day were
devoted to the Leader.

they help in celebrating the Jubilee
of the British queen who never in
her life sympathized practically with
her own proletarian subjects; that
they sympathize with Parnell and
his parliamentarians because they
are landlords and averse to the ma
tionalization of land, and abhor Mi
chael Davitt, Henry George and
their co workers?
A thousand signs Of the times
point toward the conclusion that the
great ultimate struggle between des-
pots and exploiters and their victims
draws to a close, to elimination of
the opposites, and to life or death
for democratic-republican institu-
tions and economical self-govern-
ment. 1t is just now the same sit
uation as a short time before the re-
bellion. Six or seven years before
the emancipation proclamation of
Abraham Lincoln we heard many
anti-slavery men express the opinion
that slavery would hardly be abol-
ished before at least forty more years.
The rebellion found all the North
utterly unprepared for the issue.
Just so it seems to be now. Most
of the workers are unprepared for
the final rebellion of our money
kings and the ensuing abolition OF
wages slavery, while it is supremely
important that we all should know
in advance what is to be put in place
of the society and government of the
plutocrats, when their power will be
overthrown and their rebellion
crushed.
1t is an urgent necessity that our
laboring masses should this time be
well prepared for coming events.

Walter Vrooman Responds to Our Re.
quest for Information.

The contradictory reports concern
ing the experimental colony of the
Credit Foncicr of Sinaloa, at Topo-
lobampo, Mexico, led us to publish
a request for reliable information
concerning it for the benefit Of the
readers of the WoRKMEN's ADvo-
CATE. In lette. he says:
81 have been interested in this colony
for over year, regarding it rs valu-
able experiment, whether it was a sue
cess or failure. Ihave kept thoroughly
posted concerning every new develop
ment in regard to it and have just re-

colony A. X. Owen, president of the
colony, was visiting there ut the same
time, had the opportunity of examin-
ing large number of letters from the
colonists and of learning of their condi-
ton. | found that the reports Of the
colony's failure and the suffering and
helplessness of the pioneers given pub
licity by the capitalistic press and copied
by many labor papers are all base fabri-
cations. There are at present more than
three hundred and fifty colonists at Sin
| aloa who are progressing rapidly with
| their work. or course there were few
dreamers who thought they would be in
heaven as soon as they reached Topolo
bampo, and when they found that they
were yet in the world and there was yet
hard work to be done they kicked and
were kicked out. The leaders of those
dissatisfied ones were a preacher and a
lawyer, the occupations of whom were
not appreciated and they could, or
would, do nothing else. Those who are
there at present expected to work when
they started, expected some hardships at
first and are contented and encouraged
with the outlook. Another large expe-
ditionpf colonists will start for Mexico

The Colt and the Pears.

A gentleman who keeps a two-year-old
colt in a lot where there is fruit has beer
particular of late to have all the fruit that
fell during the night gathered before the
colt was turned out in the morning,
thinking the fellow would get all that
his system required if he ate what fell
during the day. Yesterday afternoon
one OF the family heard a pear tree rattle,
and, slipping to the window to see if the
tree was being molested, she saw the colt
rubbing against it. Directly pair was
started and the colt at once made for it.
Then he repeated the rubbing operation
till another fell. which he secured and ate.
He had been seen rubbing against the
tree before, but his movements were not
watched. But his owner has no doubt
that he has secured his share of the fruit,
and didn't take up windfails either

Exploration at the south Pole.

The Antarctic committee appointed by
the Royal Society of Victoria and the
Royal Geographical Society of Australia
have memorialized the Premier of
Victoria on the propriety of stimulating
Antarctic research by the offer of bonuses
bor recommend that sum of e10, 1000
placed on the estimates for this
purpose, and that tenders be solicited
from the shipown-rs for the performance
of services in connection with Antarctic
exploration. Shipowners whose tenders
shall be accepted must provide free
accommodations for two scientific gentle
men, as well as reserve a second cabin as
instrument room and office. Each
master Of ship must also afford every
facility for observing natural phenomena.
Masters will receive special bonuses for
every 100 tons of oil from fish caught
south of so degrees S.
The special services desired area fly
ing survey of any coast lines lying with
in the Antarctic circle, and not laid down
upon the admiralty charts; and the dis
covery of new water ways leading to-
ward the South Pole, and of harbors
suitable for wintering in. Facilities are
to be offered for the study of meteor
ology, oceanography, terrestrial magnet
ism, natural history and geology. Special
bonuses will be given for passing seventy
degrees s., and also for establishing on
shore temporary observing camp. Two
ships are required, and both must be in
Port Phillip Bay and ready to start on
October Is next, in the Southern spring.
The Premier of Victoria has promised to
place $1,000 on the next estimates for
the above purposes, on condition that
the other colonies will join in the enter
prise, so that it is hoped strong impetus
will be given to Antarctic exploration

In Dec, lsod, l. $ Johnson & Co, % Custom
House St, Boston, Mass, offered eight premi-
ums payable in gold coin, which they say crea-
ted great interest among people who kept
hens, so much so, in fact, that they authorize
US to say that they shall offer Nov lst 1857 .
another list Of premiums for the bests results
from the use Of Sheridan's Powder TO Make
Hens Lay. OF course all who compete cannot
get one or the premiums, but some OF the last
years reports sen. US show that the parties
ought TO have been well satisfied IL they had
not received any other benefit than the in
crease OF eggs they got while making the trial.
For example the first premium was twenty
five dollars taken by C. A. French Washing
ton, y. H--wha fed thirty hens the Sheridan's
Powder for eight weeks. The first week he got
only ten eggs; the third week the hens laid 20l
eggs, and the eighth week 2OS eggs. During the
eight weeks trial he got 1895 eggs which, at the
price Of eggs in Boston or New York markets
In mid-winter, would have yielded $3.50 or
s.. for each hen in eight weeks time. Con-
sidering the small expense Of keeping a hen no
animal on farm will pay like that. The
fourth premium. which was ten dollars, went
to Mrs I. B. Carlin, Conklin Centre, y. Y
who IN the eight weeks received from forty
hens lsOs eggs The first week she only got
Be- eggs, but the last week ~ eggs
This clearly demonstrates that the use of
Sheridan's Powder to Make Hens Lay will in
crease the profit several hundred per cent.
johnson q Co. will send two . cent packs Of
Sheridan's Powder postpaid to any address for
- cents In postage stamps; or a large ~ pound
can OF Powder for SLID. To each person or
dering large can as above they will send free
one copy OF the Farmers Poultry Guide
